Thanks, everyone, for all the help.  I'm well on my way, now that I've
figured out the difference between tea and artificial tea.  In fact, I
would hgave the game wound up, but for one problem.  I land on the
speedboat as Zaphod, the multi-headed crazy man.  I take the toolbox,
and look under the seat for the key and the speedboat fluff.  Then I
head for the cliff, meet Trillian, make the guards drop their guns,
shoot the guns, and exit east to the Heart of Gold.  I do an inventory
just before boarding the heart of gold, and I am indeed holding (as
Zaphod) the toolbox, key, and fluff.  But once I come out of the dark
as Arthur Dent on the HOG, I no longer have the fluff, toolbox, or
key.  How do I hold them throught the transformation.  I tried locking
the fluff in the toolbox, throwing it overboard, but nothing makes it.
Shouldn't it appear on the bridge the same way the purse and satchel
do?  Should I hand it to Trillian perhaps?  I need the fluff for a 
later step...
